I suppose you could classify this as a portable, since it comes in its
own Samsonite suitcase:
http://ripsaw.cac.psu.edu/~mloewen/Oldtech/Terminals/index.html#teleterm
It does pseudo-lowercase. It has a "lower shift" key next to the
regular shift key. In "lower shift" mode, the characters are printed
about 2/3 the size of the upper case characters, but they look like
miniature versions of the upper case font. The "lower shift" key locks.
When you press the regular shift key, it unlocks the "lower shift" key,
and everything prints in upper case.
